Creator Terms of Service

These Creator Terms of Service ("Creator Terms") govern your use of Creatornet, operated by Ali Media ("Creatornet", "we", "us" or "our"). By creating a creator account or using Creatornet, you ("Creator", "you") agree to these Creator Terms and the Privacy Policy. Do not use Creatornet if you do not agree.

If you are a brand or advertiser, these Creator Terms do not apply to you. Your use of Creatornet is governed by the Terms of Service for brands and advertisers instead.

1. Eligibility and Account

You must be 18 or older and able to form a binding contract. If you use Creatornet on behalf of a company or another entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind it, so "you" then means both you and that entity. You must provide accurate profile and payout information and keep it current.

You are responsible for everything done through your account, for safeguarding your credentials and for telling us promptly if you think someone else has used your account. Do not sell, transfer or share the account.

2. Your Relationship with Brands

Campaign terms (deliverables, rates, usage windows) are set by the business you collaborate with on Creatornet (the "Brand") or agreed between you and it. You collaborate as an independent contractor. These Creator Terms create no partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship with Creatornet or any Brand. Neither Creatornet nor any Brand owes you employee benefits, holiday pay, pension contributions, sick pay or similar payments or deductions. You cover your own taxes, business expenses and insurance.

Creatornet does not pay you and does not hold your money. The Brand pays you directly, through its own bank or payment provider, under your arrangement with it. What Creatornet does is calculate what you have earned, show it to both of you and record that the Brand has marked a payout as sent. The payout details you enter tell the Brand where to send the money. If a Brand does not pay, that is a matter between you and the Brand and Creatornet has no obligation to pay in its place.

3. Content License

You keep ownership of everything you submit through Creatornet. Nothing in these Creator Terms transfers ownership of your content to a Brand or to Creatornet.

3.1 License to Creatornet

You grant Creatornet a worldwide license, non-exclusive and royalty-free, to host, store, process, transmit and display your content as needed to operate Creatornet and to run the campaigns you take part in. This license runs for as long as the content is on Creatornet.

3.2 License to the Brand

Your submission is accepted when a Brand approves it on Creatornet or uses the content in any advertisement, post, email or other marketing channel. On acceptance you grant that Brand a worldwide license, non-exclusive and royalty-free, to use that content for the campaign it was submitted to and for related marketing on any channel, including paid advertising. On a commission campaign, a paid advertisement that sends people to the Brand's site or store is licensed only while it carries the tracking parameter Creatornet issues for that content.

The Brand may make the technical and format changes an advertising channel needs, such as trimming, cropping, resizing or captioning, as long as this does not change what the content says. You keep your moral rights in the content but agree not to assert them against uses this Section allows.

That license covers your name, likeness, image and voice as they appear in the content you submitted and only within the scope above. It gives a Brand no wider right to your name, likeness, image or voice. The Brand may transfer or sublicense what it holds. A transfer or sublicense gives no more than the Brand has and ends when the Brand's license does.

3.3 Term of the Brand's License

Fixed-fee campaigns. Once the Brand has paid the agreed amount in full, the license is perpetual and irrevocable unless the campaign says otherwise.

Commission campaigns. For as long as the Brand uses your content, the license you granted is conditioned on all of the following:

every paid advertisement that features your content and sends people to the Brand's site or store carries the tracking parameter Creatornet issues for that content;
the Brand keeps in place the store connection or conversion feed that records the resulting sales; and
the Brand pays you the commissions those sales earn.

The first two conditions are what make your sales countable. A Brand that keeps using your content without meeting them is using it without a license. None of the conditions apply once the Brand stops using your content.

The license ends if the Brand breaches any of these conditions and does not cure the breach within 14 days of notice. It also ends if you close your creator account or we terminate it, in which case commissions stop accruing that day and we will notify the Brand.

Once the license ends the Brand has 5 business days to stop using the content and take down any live advertising featuring it. Where we notify the Brand that it has ended, those 5 business days run from our notice.

A license ending under this Section does not cancel commissions you have already earned. Closing your account also affects a balance the Brand has not yet paid, as described in Section 9.

3.4 Your Own Portfolio

Once the Brand has published content you made for a campaign, you may use that content in your own portfolio and self-promotion, unless the campaign says otherwise.

3.5 Publicity

The licenses above let us operate Creatornet and run the campaigns you take part in. They do not let us feature you in Creatornet's own marketing. We will not use your name, handle, image or content in our marketing, case studies or sales materials unless you have given us permission. We ask for that permission separately. You may withdraw it at any time by emailing legal@creatornet.io. Withdrawal applies going forward and we are not required to recall material already published or distributed. Any earnings figures we use are anonymized or aggregated.

3.6 Representations and Warranties

You represent and warrant that you own or control the rights to everything you upload and that it infringes nobody's rights. That covers any third-party material inside it, such as music, footage or a trademark. A track you are licensed to use inside a social app is not always cleared for the same video running as a paid advertisement.

If anyone else appears in or is identifiable from your content, you represent and warrant that you have their permission for it to be used the way these Creator Terms allow and a parent's or guardian's permission if they are a child.

The representations and warranties above do not apply to material a Brand supplies you for its campaign, such as its logo, product images, packaging, footage, music or script. A Brand that engages you grants you a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use that material to make and deliver content for that campaign. You get no other rights in it and goodwill in the Brand's marks stays with the Brand.

3.7 Takedown

We may require you or a Brand to remove, modify or stop running content that we reasonably determine presents a platform-policy, legal, regulatory or reputational risk, including a risk under Shopify or Meta rules, even if a Brand already approved or published it. You must act on our notice promptly, whether that means taking the content down, pausing it or making the change we asked for.

We do not review your content for accuracy, substantiation or legal compliance before it runs. Acting on one piece of content does not put us under a duty to monitor the rest or make us responsible for content we have not asked you to take down. We are not responsible for the content you make or for where a Brand runs it.

A takedown is separate from our right to suspend or terminate your account under Section 9, which we may exercise or not exercise regardless. A takedown does not by itself cancel commissions you have already earned. Commissions can be reversed only in the cases described in Section 7.

4. Intellectual Property

We and our licensors own the Creatornet platform, including its software, designs, trademarks, documentation and underlying know-how. Using it transfers no ownership to you and any right not expressly granted in these Creator Terms is reserved. Subject to these Creator Terms, Creatornet grants you a limited right to use Creatornet to take part in campaigns. The right is revocable and non-exclusive. You may not transfer or sublicense it.

If you send feedback or suggestions, you grant Creatornet a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you.

5. Disclosures and Compliance

Where you post campaign content yourself, you are responsible for disclosing your commercial relationship with the Brand clearly and conspicuously, as the endorsement and advertising rules that apply to you require, including the FTC endorsement guides and their local equivalents. You must also use the disclosure tools the platform provides and follow its content rules.

You must give your honest opinion and your actual experience of the product. Do not make a claim that is false or misleading or that you cannot support. You may rely on product facts and scripts the Brand supplies unless they are unlawful on their face, obviously false or inconsistent with your own experience. Tell us if a Brand asks you to make a claim you cannot stand behind or to hide your relationship with it. Creatornet does not assume your regulatory duties.

6. Confidentiality

Campaign briefs, unreleased products, pricing, discount codes and the commission rate a Brand offers are confidential, as is other non-public information a Brand or Creatornet gives you that a reasonable person would treat as confidential. Use them only for the campaign and protect them with reasonable care. You may share them with your own advisors who need them and are bound to keep them confidential.

Information that is public, already known without a duty of confidence, independently developed or received from a third party free to disclose it is not confidential. You may disclose confidential information if the law requires it, after telling the Brand where you are allowed to. These obligations survive termination.

7. Commissions, Clawbacks and Tax

Commission amounts shown in Creatornet follow the Brand's configured rules and Creatornet's attribution. Figures may differ from other analytics tools. A commission becomes ready to pay out when the campaign's holding period ends. The Brand sets that period and may also set a minimum payout amount, both of which Creatornet shows on the campaign. A balance below the minimum is held back and included in a later payout.

A commission you have earned can be reduced only:

where the order behind it is refunded or canceled;
where the Brand edits that order and its value falls;
where we confirm fraud or invalid traffic; or
where we correct a figure recorded in error.

If a reduction is larger than what you are owed at the time, the remainder carries over and is deducted from your next payouts until it is settled.

A Brand can change a campaign's commission rate, including after you have been accepted onto the campaign. The new rate applies to sales made after the change and never to commissions you have already earned. Those commissions can still be reduced, but only in the cases above.

You are responsible for all taxes on what you earn through Creatornet, including income tax, social security contributions and any value-added or sales tax that applies to you. You are also responsible for the tax filings and documentation the law requires of you.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You must not manipulate attribution or commission figures, including through self-purchases, artificial clicks or forged tracking parameters; misrepresent your identity, qualifications or audience metrics; reverse engineer, copy or scrape Creatornet or build a competing product from it, except as allowed by mandatory law; overload Creatornet or circumvent security or access controls; upload malware; harass other users; or use Creatornet for unlawful content or spam.

9. Term and Termination

These Creator Terms start when you create a creator account or first use Creatornet and run until you or we end them. You may close your account at any time. Closing it removes your payout details from Creatornet, so the Brand will no longer have what it needs to pay a balance it has not already paid. Ask the Brand to pay out what you have earned before you close your account. We may suspend or terminate access where that is reasonably needed to protect Creatornet or other users or to meet a legal obligation, including for a material breach of these Creator Terms.

We may change, suspend or discontinue Creatornet or any part of it, including individual features. We may also stop providing it to you.

When these Creator Terms end your access to Creatornet ends. Termination does not cancel commissions you have already earned. A sale Creatornet attributes to advertising that ran before termination still earns you a commission even where the sale itself lands afterwards. Those commissions are subject to Section 7 and remain subject to the Brand's rules and to any dispute process that Brand runs. If a campaign ran on commissions, the Brand's right to use your content from that campaign ends when the Brand's Terms of Service end. Provisions that by their nature survive termination do so, including Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, the disclaimers and liability limits, Indemnification and Governing Law. Licenses granted under Section 3 also continue or end as that Section provides.

10. Disclaimers and Liability

WE PROVIDE CREATORNET "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CREATORNET DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION; THAT ATTRIBUTION OR COMMISSION FIGURES WILL MATCH OTHER ANALYTICS TOOLS; OR ANY PARTICULAR LEVEL OF EARNINGS, OPPORTUNITIES OR CAMPAIGN INVITATIONS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE, LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, LOST GOODWILL OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF THE LOSS WAS FORESEEABLE OR WE WERE ON NOTICE OF IT.

CREATORNET'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS UNDER THESE CREATOR TERMS OR IN CONNECTION WITH CREATORNET IS CAPPED AT THE GREATER OF THE TOTAL COMPENSATION THAT WAS PAID OR PAYABLE TO YOU THROUGH CREATORNET IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM OR 500 US DOLLARS.

THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITS IN THIS SECTION APPLY WHATEVER THE LEGAL BASIS OF THE CLAIM, INCLUDING CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE AND OTHER TORT.

We do not exclude or limit liability for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow the other exclusions and limits in this Section, so those may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Creatornet and its officers, contractors and agents from claims, damages, losses and reasonable costs (including legal fees) that arise from or relate to the content you submit, including a claim that it infringes or misuses another party's intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights; your failure to disclose your commercial relationship with a Brand as Section 5 requires; a false, misleading or unsubstantiated claim in your content; your disputes with a Brand or another third party; or your breach of these Creator Terms or applicable law.

We will promptly notify you of any claim, let you lead the defense and any settlement and reasonably cooperate at your expense. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits our liability or imposes obligations on us without our written consent. A delay in our notice does not relieve you of these obligations except to the extent it materially prejudices your defense. We may take part in the defense at our own cost. Doing so does not reduce your obligations.

12. Changes to These Creator Terms

From time to time we may amend these Creator Terms as Creatornet, the law or our business change. The date at the top shows the latest version.

For a material change we will give notice by email to the address on your account or through a prominent notice in Creatornet before it takes effect. Changes apply prospectively and do not affect rights or obligations already accrued.

If you keep using Creatornet after a change takes effect, you accept it. If you do not agree, stop using Creatornet and close your account.

13. Infringement Complaints

If you believe content on Creatornet or advertising run through Creatornet infringes a copyright, trademark or other right you hold, email legal@creatornet.io with the subject line "IP complaint".

Your notice must include:

what the content is and where you saw it, precisely enough for us to find it;
what right you hold and what work or mark it covers, with a link to an authorized example if you have one;
your name, your organization if you have one and an address and email we can reply to;
a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by you, your agent or the law; and
a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act for them.

We review complete notices. We may remove or disable access to the content. A knowingly false notice may make you liable for the damage it causes. We may stop processing notices from anyone who repeatedly submits unfounded ones.

If something you supplied was removed and you believe that was a mistake, reply with the same subject line, identify what was removed and explain why you hold the rights. We will review your reply and may restore the content. We may suspend or close the account of anyone who repeatedly supplies infringing content.

14. Governing Law

Norwegian law governs these Creator Terms, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The Norwegian courts have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.

15. General

15.1 Entire Agreement

These Creator Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about your use of Creatornet between you and Creatornet. Campaign terms sit between you and the Brand.

15.2 Severability and Waiver

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the extent the law allows and the rest stays in force. Not enforcing a provision does not waive it. A waiver binds us only if it is written and only for the case it covers.

15.3 Assignment

You may not assign these Creator Terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, a sale of assets or a change of control.

15.4 Force Majeure

Events beyond a party's reasonable control excuse delay or non-performance, such as infrastructure or platform outages, natural disasters, labor disputes or acts of government. The affected party will notify the other and resume performance as soon as it reasonably can.

15.5 Notices

Notices to us under these Creator Terms must be sent to legal@creatornet.io. We may notify you by email at the address on your account or through Creatornet. Notices are deemed given when received.

16. Support

Support is available by email at support@creatornet.io, Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00 Central European Time, excluding Norwegian public holidays.

We make reasonable efforts to respond within one business day but do not warrant a particular support level, response time or continued availability unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing. Nothing in this Section changes the disclaimers in Section 10.
